A couple of weeks ago I attended the Secret Santa London Meet Up organised by the lovely Clare and Emma. The plan behind it was we were all given a ‘Secret Santa’, another blogger that we were buying the gift for, and would all meet up in London to exchange gifts and eat mince pies and have a chat. I went along with Bex and of course no meet up would go ahead without some sort of drama with us, and this time we got completely lost, despite having gone to Tiger Tiger in Piccadilly Circus three times together, oops. And as usual I completely forgot to take any photos of the event as I was so busy chatting to other bloggers so I have nothing to put up in my post, Oops.
At the event we were given some lovely goody bags organised by Emma. They came with some great goodies from Simply Be, Bomb Cosmetics and Apivita, and I think my favourite thing must be the “I love blogging” sign by Mums Crafts. There was also some chocolates and candy canes but of course I ate that before I remembered to take photos..
We were also given our Secret Santa gifts and I was really impressed with mine. I got a bottle of Lush Snow Fairy (my favourite shower gel ever!), a Revlon Lip Butter in the shade Berry Smoothie, a face mask, and a Baylis & Harding Beauticology gift set including the most amazing fluffy socks, Gingerbread Foot Soak Crystals and Vanilla Frosting Foot Lotion. I was sat joking with Bex and Clare that who ever got me knew me really well as I loved my Secret Santa and then Clare admitted it was her! After the event we all split up different ways and I wondered off with Bex, Clare and her friend Natalie to wonder around the shops, and I even let Clare influence me to pick up a MAC lipstick.
I had such a great time at the Secret Santa London Meet Up, and the thought behind it from Clare and Emma was brilliant. And thank you to my Secret Santa *cough* Clare *cough*.
Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Rush Blogger Meet at the House Of Rush organised by the lovely Becky from Lipgloss and Lashes. The House of Rush is situated in central London, right in the heart of Piccadilly. I’d never heard of The House of Rush before, and it seemed different from…
Usually when I attend blogger events they’re based in London, so I was pretty excited when I was invited to an event last week that was pretty local to me. The lovely people over at Atelier Salon and Spa invited me and a few other local bloggers over for an evening of pampering and to take a…

Last week I posted my first Christmas Gift Guide For Men, now it’s time to write one on gifts for women! I always find it a lot easier to find Christmas presents for women, mostly because all my friends seem to like the same things as me, which is handy when it comes to buying gifts!…
January has seen some great blog posts this month, it seems like everyone’s stepped up their blogging game lately.
